#662 by Richard Cant believe fox let them Put "see you on some other channel." on the intro. I like the musical bit...fourth season was so dramatic wasnt it? ah well what will happen to the show next? A man can dream, you know!...A man can dream ;- ) Richard gave 5 points 22.08.2004

#666 by Frodo Brilliant episode, though maybe not the best to finish the series. It was great to see the robot devil again, and his lines were just hilarious! The songs at the end were great! It would have been good to have some kind of closure on Leela and Fry, but I'm pretty sure the writers didn't know this would be the final episode so that's why. Also, hopefully, it will leave it open for another season? It's disgraceful Fox canceled the show. With so much garbage on Tv, they go and cancel one ofthe few good things on? Shame on them!

#667 by vincent27 I wonder if Frodo noticed the irony of having review number 666... Or is that irony? Goddamn it, I can't be sure anymore! Well, anyway... It was a great episode to end the series (and with the return of my favorite Futurama character too. Hurrah!). The opera was decent- the songs weren't the best (musically), but the visuals and the lyrics made up for it. It was the perfect end to a glorious season- after all, it's been building up the Leela-Fry relationship a hella lot more recently. I'd like to say more, but for some reason my minds gone blank. Probably from trying to crush as many episodes from Season 4 into as little time as possible... I really hope that they bring back Futurama. I'll never forgive Fox for cancelling this show- it was still going strong while the neverending Simpsons has jumped the shark four or five seasons ago. Well, there is a bit of hope- after all, Family Guy got a second chance. My fingers are crossed. vincent27 gave 5 points 27.08.2004

#668 by LoveForFry one of my favorites. i like the never ending billboard in the begining, and when leela says the hands are so cold, and the devil shouts how hell is so hot.the music was nice. but i think i like the end the best.whwere leela says to keep playing, and you see leela and fry walk away holding hands. i cant believe they cancelled futurama.hopefuly one day fpx will come to its senses and put it back on the air.

#669 by T. Leela *I hope it makes a comeback. This is one of the best cartoons ever created. Certainly better than the last 3 or 4 seasons of The Simpsons. It makes for a possible comeback, since not all questions were answered. Especially since we don't know for sure whether or not Fry & Leela are together. But if you want to form a theory, put together the events from Episode 3ACV02 (Parisites Lost), with the events from 4ACV18 (TDHAIP), it can be most safely assumed that Fry and Leela did get together, but it would have been better to know for sure. Oh well. It had a great run. I'll miss it greatly. Here's hoping for a comeback with all original voice actors/actressess. (But even if they can't comeback, I'd be able to live with different voices.

#670 by RAC2 Great episode to finish a great series, too bad it had to end in its prime. Aside from this episode, futurama was treated like dirt from fox. The ratings would've been way high had this show started at 8:30 instead of 7 (there's nothing good to watch at that 8:30 time slot, so what the hell were you fox people thinking?) It's kinda funny now that futurama, a year after its last episode, is doing much better in syndication. It is gaining more fans, better ratings on cartoon network, and great dvd sales (AND 2 emmy nominations). with these qualities, it's taking the same route that family guy had taken. i sure as hell hope that they can pull off the same success that family guy did in the end - reincarnation.
